The real question is: how do you find out where an existing lyx is
installed? The only answer I know is: try to find the binary and
search from there (this is a standard autoconf feature, BTW). The only
`sane' alternative is to always default to /usr/local, but I doubt
people will like that.
Hmm, maybe you meant doing pwd in the bin directory. At least on _my_
system (you might think it's broken, but at least some of these
exist), /usr/bin/X11 is the real dir, and /usr/X11/bin is a link.
That's old-style X11 installation (of course we do not install there,
so that's not a problem).
